After 15 years with tarot, I still have trouble interpreting it, so I mostly read oracle cards because it's simpler. I'm just starting to learn Lenormand. I think I'm going to love this system. Thank you for your great videos.
I love that you say it's "a pie in the face!" I always tell other readers that Lenormand is like your closest friend who is not afraid to tell you there is spinach in your teeth! Love both systems and cards, general. Fantastic video...
(Whoops! I first signed in with my son's account by mistake, didn't know he was still signed in). I hope you enjoy it. It has a definite system and talks more in words than in pictures, and that is what gives it such succinct clarity. I think you'll find its accuracy shocking and fun. Have a good time learning with it!
I bought this deck thinking it was just another style of tarot deck, the images and the colors really caught my eye. I had no idea that Lenormand was a completely different thing. I'm a beginner and a have a traditional tarot l deck coming but I'm glad I got this Lenormand deck. excited to learn. thank you very much for your help.
Thank you for doing this series of videos cos I have read books but still couldn't get head around it. Hearing someone talk though it has made it easier 😊💕
... it's a challenge to change that 'frame of mind' - from one system to another... more so than expected. (( Ever studied a language, being a 'visual' one / such as dream interpretation --- and then see another path that takes half the time.)) A short cut with less cards...
Thank you so much for this video. I JUST got my deck in the mail about an hour ago and was lost on what to do. All I had was this intense desire to learn the Lenormand. Thank you so much for it and your other links.
I am a tarot reader (25 years ), and have purchased a couple of very nice Lenormand decks (by Ciro Marchetti & Carrie Paris). Your video was VERY helpful. Thank you. I need to look around & find your tarot videos. I love your style, lady!
how exciting!!!! i just got a pack and just found out they exist!!! thank you for your works!! ooooh boy. i had no idea and they really resonate with me!
Mysti Kay, you will have so much fun with this system. Just wait for the crazy synchronicities that will happen....you will find it quite accurate and a remarkable mirror of the life experience of the person about who it speaks. Enjoy!
CZcams won't let me link, but there is a blog at my website donnaleigh (dot) com that is called "Choosing Your First Lenormand Deck." It suggests some decks and explains why.
Today I went to a store to buy a very particular game. While I was there I stumbled upon the library section and the tarot cards (I know nothing about tarot neither Lenormand). I'm a curious person and I've seen one or two tarot decks in my life so I was curious to see these. I got so fascinated... I saw the Lenormand Fairy Oracle deck and instantly fell in love with it. I couldn't put it down and I wanted to buy it. I even thought it was a tarot deck so you see how much I know about these things. But because I liked it so much I wanted to learn how to use it and all it's meanings so I asked the lady working there for some instructions so I could be a hobbyist you know but she knew as much as me. My rationality told me to not buy the deck because of my lack of knowledge but then, when I was leaving the store, a guy approached me saying that he heard my conversation with the lady and that he knows about tarot and asked if I wanted to know more. I said yes and we talked for a while. He, somehow, guessed that I'm going to be 21 this month and said that it was the start of a new cycle and it would be a great time to learn tarot if I wanted to. He even indicated me a store where I could buy a deck if I wanted to and so on. Now I'm home, I've watched and read quite a few things about tarot and now Lenormand and I'm feeling that I should have bought the deck. Lenormand looked a lot like the way I think and, I don't know, I feel such a big urge to learn this. But I'm a programming student and an artist and...I don't know, is this for me? +Tarot Tribe Beyond Worlds
I find your videos really useful, but I find the background music in all of them distracting! I know this is very individual, everyone has a different feeling about background music, but for me I'd prefer the music quieter or not at all while you're speaking, and add it during transitions or where your voice is not the feature. At any rate, thanks for sharing your expertise with us, very helpful :)
My grand tableau spread is 5 lines of 7 cards and one on the side. I start my readings like this so I can see what is the main point the client needs to focus on.
That is the Stralsunder Lenormand, a historic deck. This is an antique reproduction of that deck, which you can purchase online. It's clear and uncluttered and easy to read.
I've been curious about tarot but never fully learned or got a deck and now I discover this! Do you recommend Lenormand over tarot and is there and dragon themed decks?
Hi there. There are several dragon themed Tarot decks. I've not seen Lenormand dragon themes as of this date, it is possible I missed them if any exist. I'm not a big fan of themed Lenormand decks because the theme often interferes with the reading system (it's so different than tarot). Different oracle systems appeal to different people. I think Lenormand is more succinct and blunt than tarot much of the time, and it is crazy accurate with predictions. But it's a system that must be learned, it has specific rules. Tarot is looser and often more creative and it tends to be more talky and emotive. Both are excellent; it depends on what motivates you and often depends on the types of questions we ask.
This is the French Cartomancy Mini Deck. I I know it doesn't look like it is mini sized, but you don't want the original version of this deck because of size is enormous. Good question. No, you absolutely do not have to know tarot in order to learn to read the Lenormand system. They are two distinctly different systems and you may actually have an easier time learning this if you don't already know another system. I made this video because many tarot readers are transitioning into the Lenormand system and they blend the two as if they are the same thing but they are distinctly different languages. Thanks for visiting my channel.
The French Cartomany Deck, but I debordered it. It may be one I added glitter to as well. If you search for this deck, check the size, as there has been a new one published that is enormous and that is not good for a Lenormand deck where large spreads require limited space.
I think it varies based on computer. on mine it it barely audible. I'm my first videos I used music, and later took it out except for the intro in the first few seconds

Thanks so much for the nice comment, xzedd. Much appreciated. Glad to hear the system is working so well for you! I love it, too.

Thank you. I’ve been reading tarot for forty eight years and need a change
I'm a tarot reader, and I read them similar to how you read Lenormand, so I'm going to try Lenormand now that I've watched your video.
Thank u, after with Tarot now im with Lenormand.
I bought this deck thinking it was just another style of tarot deck, the images and the colors really caught my eye. I had no idea that Lenormand was a completely different thing.

Gher, you are so right.
you are amazing.
Great introduction!
Thank you so much for this video. xxx
Thanks, Christina!
Thank you for this iformation. What is the deck called where you show The Grand Tableu? It's lovely and the pictures are clear.
That is the Stralsunder Lenormand, a historic deck. This is an antique reproduction of that deck, which you can purchase online. It's clear and uncluttered and easy to read.

Does anyone know which decks she is using in this video for both Lenormand and Rider-Waite?
Hi what's the name of your Lenormand cards? also do I have to know how to read the tarot cards before I learn this.
This is the French Cartomancy Mini Deck. I I know it doesn't look like it is mini sized, but you don't want the original version of this deck because of size is enormous.
Good question. No, you absolutely do not have to know tarot in order to learn to read the Lenormand system.

Would these cards be similar to the Gypsy Witch deck?
Pamela Moon I use the Gypsy witch cards, just take the extra cards out that is not in the lenomand
what tarot deck is this? it looks nice
Thanks for this video. What deck is the one you use for the grand tableau in this video? I don't recognize it. Thanks.
The French Cartomany Deck, but I debordered it. It may be one I added glitter to as well. If you search for this deck, check the size, as there has been a new one published that is enormous and that is not good for a Lenormand deck where large spreads require limited space.
well shit...this is how i read tarot....i am very intuitive and i taught myself....learning lenormand wont be hard for me i think! lol
I am really trying to listen to you, but your beautiful music is intrusive.
I think it varies based on computer. on mine it it barely audible. I'm my first videos I used music, and later took it out except for the intro in the first few seconds
Tarot Tribe Beyond Worlds That is my crazy iMAC. It can force one to drink. I sincerely believe that it has a mind of its own.
